JACK Riewoldt's extraordinary 11-goal haul against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday has halted the Richmond sharp-shooter's slide in the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Gatorade.

Riewoldt's 17 disposals, 12 marks and 11 majors equated to 35.3 points, which was the highest score of round 10 and the eighth-best score since the player ratings were introduced for the 2010 season.

The brilliant effort saw him climb to No.53 on the player ratings table after he had fallen as low as No.74 earlier in the year (the highest ranking of his career was No.23 at the start of the 2012 season).

Riewoldt has overtaken Trent Cotchin as Richmond's leading scorer in 2014. He has also overtaken his cousin Nick Riewoldt as the highest-scoring key forward this season.

A week is certainly a long time in football when it comes to the Tigers' enigmatic forward. Only a couple of days before taking on the Giants he led the media on a chase through the back streets of Richmond as he attempted to avoid the spotlight.

Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore is another player on the up, even if his team is stuck in a bit of rut.

Liberatore cracked the top 20 for the first time in his career with a best-on-ground performance in a losing team against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Sunday.

'Libba' won 21 contested possessions and nine clearances against the Suns and laid 12 tackles, which equated to a player ratings score of 24.7.

Since the start of the 2013 season, Liberatore ranks No.1 in the competition for both average tackles and average clearances per game. He also ranks sixth for contested possessions.

Liberatore was 22 years and seven days old at the start of the round, making him the youngest player to crack the top 20.

The other leading scorers in round 10 were Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury (30.2), North Melbourne's Jack Ziebell (26.7), Dogs captain Ryan Griffen (24.7) and Richmond's Brandon Ellis (22.2).

The leading scorers for the season at Gold Coast skipper Gary Ablett (209.8), Pendlebury (197.4) and Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield (171).
